About the piece

Created around 1765 by Paul Sandby, this masterful work depicts the North Terrace of Windsor Castle. Sandby, often called the father of English watercolor, expertly captures the play of light on the weathered stone architecture and the expansive atmosphere of the English countryside. The presence of strollers in fine attire adds a charming social dimension to this significant topographical record of royal heritage.
